Part Primitives, Create Tube has no Map-Mode

[freecad-heini-1]

Hi,
in Freecad 0.19 you can find a new primitives called tube under Part, Primitives, Create tube.
It has no Map-Mode.
Why?
Please improve this tool with a map mode.
Best regards

This Tube object seems like it was created in January 2019, so well over a year.

It's a pretty simple object, it just creates a basic Part_Feature, and adds the three properties Height, Inner Radius, Outer Radius, and that's it.

It is a scripted object made in Python, but it's not a complex object at all. It is not one of the Part_Primitives, so it lacks the attachment behavior those objects have.

Code: Select all

class TubeFeature:
    def __init__(self, obj):
        obj.Proxy = self
        obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength","OuterRadius","Tube","Outer radius").OuterRadius = 5.0
        obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength","InnerRadius","Tube","Inner radius").InnerRadius = 2.0
        obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength","Height","Tube", "Height of the tube").Height = 10.0

    def execute(self, fp):
        fp.Shape = makeTube(fp.OuterRadius, fp.InnerRadius, fp.Height)

If some of this features that work in an explicit way are implemented in such a way that it is impossible to make them associative (fully parametric) or until they are changed to work in this way, I would suggest to make their icons in a special color (maybe pink?) or use the existing small overlay pink icon that we already have in PartDesign when features are not attached, so that it will be clear to the user that this features work differently and so increase awareness about this. To my knowledge PartWB Mirror and PartWB Projection are also explicit.

As a workaround if you need to be able to attach it you can create a draft clone, hide the original tube, and attach the clone.

I'm really happy that this feature exists - I've been arguing for it for years.
But in my version it does not work, a "tube" symbol occurs in the tree, but it's invisible and grayed out and cannot be activated.

Console output:

Code: Select all

Running the Python command 'Part_Tube' failed:

    obj.addExtension("Part::AttachExtensionPython")

function takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)
